CAT A LOGUE:; 


GOLD COINS OF THE UNITED STATES 

GOLD DOLLARS. 

The regular coinage of Gold Dollars commenced in 1849 and discontinued 
In 1889. A pattern gold dollar was issued in 1836; and commemorative issues 
were coined in 1903, 1904, 1905, 1915, 1916 and 1917. Gold dollars were also 
coined at the branch Mints of Dahlonega, Ga., Charlotte, N. C., New Orleans, 
and San Francisco. 

The First Pattern Gold Dollar. 

1 1836 Liberty cap surrounded by rays; rev. 1 D. within wreath, 

around, UNITED STATES OE AMERICA 1836; plain edge. 
A magnificent brilliant gold proof. Excessively rare. A-W 
50, rarity 10; only about fifteen coined. The first gold dollar 
coined. Have sold up to $100.00. 



Gold Dollars of the Philadelphia Mint. 

Note: As ordinary gold dollars are now selling at $4.00 each, bids for less 
than $3.00 each will not be considered. 

2 1849 Small Liberty head facing to left, 13 stars: Rev. 1 DOL¬ 
LAR 1849 within wreath, UNITED STATES OR AMERICA 
around; milled edge. Variety with small stars and open wreath. 
Brilliant uncirculated, as perfect as the day it was minted. 
Very scarce so choice. 

3 1849 Another as last but stars close to border. Uncirculated, 
bright Mint luster and sharp impression. 

4 1849 So-called larger head, larger stars, closer to head; rev. 
heavier closed wreath. Brilliant uncirculated, Mint luster. 
Rare. 

5 1850 Type as last. Uncirculated, Mint luster. A very scarce 
date especially in choice condition. 

6 1851 Very fine. 

7 1852 Brilliant sharp uncirculated, nearly equal to a proof. 

8 1853 Uncirculated, sharp. 

9 1853 Very fine.

luster. 

11 1854 New type with Indian head obverse and UNITED

ter, almost equal to a proof. Very rare.

22 1869 Brilliant uncirculated, nearly equal to a proof, sharp im¬ 
pression. Very rare, as rare as any of the other rarities of the 
’60’s. Record over $20.00 and with the present demand for 
rare gold and the apparent tendency for values to constantly

Rare. Coinage about as small as that of 1863. 

24 1871 Extremely fine, practically uncirculated with semi-proof

years ago.

over $12.00.

PRIVATE AND TERRITORIAL GOLD COINS. 

The Private and Territorial gold coins were issued by Assayers, Bankers 
and Companies during the “Pioneer” days of the West; also in the 30's In 
in the Carolinas and Georgia. While not a legal coinage, these pieces were 
readily accepted and passed current at a time when there was a pressing 
need of money with which to transact the business of the country. 

The present scarcity of these coins is due to the limited number of 
specimens having been struck, and also to the greater number that have 
since been re-melted. They represent, to the student of American History, 
the most Interesting series of “Necessity Money” ever issued. 


CALIFORNIA. 

UNITED STATES. 



First Coin Struck from California Gold. 

356 1848 $2.50 Head of Liberty to left, coronet inscribed LIBERTY 

13 stars, date below. Rev. eagle with U. S. shield. Around, 
UNITED STATES OE AIMERICA 21/2 D. In the field, over 
the head of eagle, are the letters CAL. stamped in. This was 
done while the coin was yet in the die. Struck at the United 
States Mint at Philadelphia, from the first gold received from 
California. Proof. Einest known specimen. Cost $75.00, and 
in this condition certainly worth it. 

According to Mr. Adams, author of several works on the Pioneer gold 
coinage, these coins of which the above specimen is one, were struck from 
small quantity of gold, about twenty-five to thirty ounces, sent by Col. R. B. 
Mason, Military Governor of California, to Secretary of War Marcy, who 
sent it to the Mint with a request that a quantity of the metal be used In 
the making of Quarter-Eagles, to bear a distinguishing mark such as the 
Director of the Mint might think proper. The above coin is one of the first 
struck.

UNITED STATES COPPER CENTS 


One of the finest and most complete Collections ever offered. 


The CENTS of 1793. 

(Catalogued according to Crosby’s work on the Cents and Half Cents of 1793). 

1306 1793 Chain, AMERI. C. 1-A. A tiny edge dent at BE of LIB¬ 
ERTY and a still smaller one at last S of STATES on reverse. 
Practically uncirculated, with an even olive surface with a 
noticeable trace; of light red on reverse. The hair showing 
fine, and the entire coin unusualy well struck and perfectly 
centered. One of the finest known and as such excessively rare. 
Cost $70.00 and now worth more. 

1307 1793 Chain, AMERICA. C. 3-C. Extremely fine and unusu¬ 
ally sharp. Perfectly centered. A fine light steel color with just 
a tinge of red; nice smooth surface. A beautiful specimen of 
this rarity. Cost $85.00. 

1308 1793 Chain AMERICA. C. 4-C. Variety with periods after 
LIBERTY and date. Very fine, with slightly glossy steel sur¬ 
face. A great rarity, seldom equalled in condition. Dr. Wil- 
harm’s memorandum states that he paid $115.00 for it. 

1309 1793 C. 4-C. Just as last, very fine obverse and same re¬ 
verse but nicked on reverse edge. Even with this defect it is a 
desirable specimen of this great rarity. From Steigernalt, at 
$50.00 a year ago, who classed it as handsome and very desir¬ 
able. 

1310 1793 Wreath. C. 6-F. Extremely fine, with blue-steel, slightly 
glossy surface. A faint, hardly noticeable scratch on hair. As 
choice a specimen of this rarity as is usually offered. Record 
for this variety over $300.00. 

1311 1793 Wreath. C. 7-F. Very fine but obverse surfaces seems 
to have been very slightly tooled. Reverse does not show any 
evidence of circulation at all. Light reddish brown surface. 
Rare. 

1312 1793 Wreath. C. 9-G. Variety with faint die break on re¬ 
verse. Extremely fine, with glossy olive surface. Very rare. 
Record for equal specimen over $30.00. 

1313 1793 Wreath. C. 9-H;. Extremely fine, can be classed as uncir¬ 
culated, as I doubt very much if this coin has ever been in cir¬ 
culation, as even the highest portions of hair shows only the 
slightest touch of wear which is undoubtedly due to cabinet 
friction.^ Brown surface, slightly glossy. An unusually bold 
impression. Considered one of the finest known. Cost $95.00. 
Should bring more now. Record for an uncirculated specimen 
nearly $200.00.

Large United States Cents of 1793 

1314 1793 Wreath. C. 9-H. Variety with die break on reverse from 
right stem to CA of AMERICA. A small dent on obverse edge. 
Fine, light brown surface. Rare. 

1315 1793 Wreath. C-IO-I. Extremely fine, practically uncirculated, 
surface on reverse slightly rough. Dark steel color. Verv rare. 
Cost $25.00. 

1316 1793 Wreath. C. 11-J. Variety with vine and bars on edge. 
Reverse edge slightly nicked but hardly effecting the appear¬ 
ance of the coin which can easily be classed as very fine although 
it has some very light scratches on obverse. An even light 
brown surface and an unusually choice one of this great rarity. 
Some of the largest collection of Cents offered in the past sev¬ 
eral years did not contain a specimen of this variety. Should 
bring from $75.00 to $100.00. 

1317 1793 Wreath C. 11-J. Lettered edge. Extremely fine nearly 
uncirculated, dark steel color. A magnificient specimen. Very 
rare. In this condition should bring about $30.00. 

1318 1793 Wreath. C. H-J. Lettered edge. Strictly fine with light 
brown surface and free from any nicks or dents. A rare Cent 
with a very “pleasing’' appearance. Very rare. 

1319 1793 Liberty cap variety. C. 12-L. Can be classed as very 
fine for coin. It is perfectly centered and unusually well struck 
for this variety which is seldom found with a plain reverse. 
Extremely rare. 

1320 1793 Liberty cap. C. 13-L. Die break across obverse and an 
unusually plain break. Strictly fine for coin, every letter and 
figure plain and well struck for this specimen. A medium 
glossy steel color. Extremely rare variety. Record over 
$ 100 . 00 . 

1321 1793 Liberty cap variety. Crosby 14-K. Obverse fine, reverse 
the same only as usual, the center not struck up. Olive sur¬ 
face. A very small, hardly noticeable nick on obverse edge. 
One of the rarest of all cents. To the best of my knowledge 
there are only four known specimens of this variety. Dr. 
Wilharm paid $175.00 for this specimen several years ago. 
Should bring considerable more to-day. 

1322 1793 Wreath type. An unusual tooled specimen, the entire 
design, date and lettering re-engraved, making it of an entirely 
different design than any that are knwon. Of course it is only 
offered as a curiosity. Its condition is very fine with olive sur¬ 
face Cost $10.00. 

1323 1793 Smith’s copy of the Chain Cent. Hair re-engraved as all 
are. This is only a copy and not an original. It is illustrated 
in Crosby’s work and is valuable only as comparison with the 
genuine. Fine condition.

The CENTS of 1794. 

(Dr, Wilharm’s Collection of 1794 Cents was one of the most complete

dition is indeed very rare and valuable

pression with broad raised borders. Fine steel color, very 
slightly glossy. A magnificient coin and very rare in this con¬

The CENTS of 1795. 

Numbered according to Daughty’s work on the subject. 

1333 1795 Lettered edge, Doughty No. 66. Planchet not quite as

planchet, perfectly centered and struck; a fine even light brown

1353 1796 Bust type. Gilbert No. 1, perfect die. Extremely fine,

riety.

United States Cents of 1796 .

1363 1796 Bust type. Gilbert No. 11. Die break through 17 and 
curl to edge: Rev., die break extending from U diagnoally 
upward just beyond the wreath under F. Very fine. Rare. 
Cost $20.00. 

1364 1796 Type just as last. Gilbert No. 11 but with break on ob¬ 
verse but no break on reverse. Very good. Rare. 

1365 1796 Bust type. Gilbert No. 12. Die break across date and 
below chin. About fine. Very rare. Seldom offered. Some of 
the largest Collections did not have it. 

1366 1796 Bust type. Gilbert No. 13. Obverse without border, re¬ 
verse, broad milled border. About fine. Very rare number. 

1367 1796 Bust type. Gilbert No. 14. Practically uncirculated, 
sharp, with a beautiful bluish color. However, the coin is un¬ 
fortunately plugged under E of LIBERTY. This defect is 
overcome by the work being done so skillfully, the hair and 
part of bow on reverse re-engraved that it is hardly noticeable. 

I consider the coin worthy of a home in any collection. With¬ 
out the defect it would have been a $50.00 to $75.00 coin.

The Finest Known Perfect Date Cent of 1823. 

1551 1823 Perfect date. Die break on obverse edge between 5th 
and 6th stars, and a smaller break at 7th star. UNCIRCU- 

' LATED, pefrectly centered, good, strong imperssion evenly 
struck. A fine, even, glossy medium-olive surface. The finest 
known specimen of this variety. Excessively rare and 
valuable. Considered the most valuable Cent in this Collec¬ 
tion and one of the most valuable and sought after cents known. 

Not having, during my twenty years experience, possessed an 
uncirculated specimen of the 1823 perfect date Cent, I endeavored 
to ascertain its true rarity and value. While I had a fairly good idea 
of the great rarity of this variety in choice condition, I find that 
according to records extending over the past twenty years, the rarity 
of this gem specimen has hardly been appreciated nor generally known. 
Out of the numerous valuable collections, I can only find one or two 
records of sale. Such Collections as the Zabriskie, Earl, Dr. Adler, 
Wilson and the Miller Collections did not contain a choice specimen 
of this variety, although the Earl Collection had the 1823 over 22. 
The Brement Sale, one of the largest collections of Cents offered in 
recent years, did not have this variety but only contained the 1823 
over 22 and which brought $200.00. The only specimen I find ap¬ 
proaching the one offered here is the one offered in the Mills Sale in 
1904, over sixteen years ago. The specimen there was cataloged as 
follows: 

“Uncirculated, some of the stars not sharply struck. 

The only one known in this condition. Cost $210.00.” 

That specimen brought $170.00. And this was over sixteen years ago! 
I unhesitatingly^ make the statement that the 1823 perfect date Cent 
is at least ten times as rare as the 1823 over 22 and I doubt, if more 
than two or three specimens are known to exist in uncirculated con¬ 
dition. This gem Cent represents a rarity, the opportunity for the pur¬ 
chase of which is only offered once in a decade and I’m confident that 
its great rarity and value will be duly appreciated by the collectors of 
America.

UNITED STATES PATTERN COINS. 

“Pattern pieces represent one of the most interesting sections of the* 
coinage of the United States. They embrace the many metallic attempts' 
of the designers of the mint to produce a coin containing a new device, 
motto, or a plan of coinage. These pieces excite the warmest interest on 
the part of collectors, and a possessor of a fairly complete set of Pattern 
coins may be said to own a metallic history of the Uinted States coinage.”

jug, snakes on either side. Size 65, weight 51/6 ounces. Curious 
and interesting. 

The above two items are from the Dr. Fisher and Burton Coilections. 
Dr. Fisher informed me that these two pieces were bought from the British 
Museum by the late Dr. Heath, founder of the American Numismatic Asso¬ 
ciation. The story was given that these pieces were found while excavating 
an old spring at Ataria in Eastern Italy. In former times this spring had 
steadily furnished water, all other springs and streams had gone dry, and 
to please the particular God of this spring, the people had thrown this money, 
jewelry, etc. into the spring, where they remained for hundreds of years. 

While this story may be very interesting, and while the above two pieces 
look old. but I hardly think that they are of Ancient origin. However, they 
are interesting and are sold Just as they are with no guarantee for their 
genuineness.
